of the owner, keeper or harborer of said animal; provided that animals
may be taken off the property of the owner, keeper or harborer when

if it prevents the animal from protection of the elements and weather
conditions.

It shall be unlawful for any person to unjustifiably or knowingly
throw, drop or place, cause to be thrown, dropped or placed upon any
road, highway, street, alley, or public place, or upon the private

control officer or sheriff's deputy in the exercise and performance
of the powers and duties in this chapter.

shall place or confine such animal or allow such animal to be placed
or confined or to remain in a motor vehicle under such conditions

of such animal due to heat, cold, lack of food or water, or such other
circumstances as may reasonably be expected to cause suffering, disability
or death.

A sheriff's deputy or animal control officer who finds an animal
in a motor vehicle in violation of this chapter may use any force
that is reasonable and necessary under the circumstances to safely
remove the animal from the motor vehicle.

The officer removing the animal shall impound the animal or take
the animal to a veterinary clinic for safekeeping and shall, in the

their credentials, telephone number, and the address where the animal
may be claimed.

It shall be unlawful for an owner to abandon an animal or the carcass
of an animal on a public street or road, alley, or any other public
place or upon the private property of the owner or the private property
of another.

When the animal is not claimed within 72 hours after the scheduled
pickup date having been boarded, groomed, trained, handled or cared
for by any animal establishment or left unclaimed at the office of
a veterinarian;

After the appropriate notice has been provided to the owner, if known,
and the owner has failed to reclaim, the animal shall be deemed abandoned
and shall become property of the Town. An animal control officer may
dispose of the animal in any reasonable, humane manner.

Own, keep, or use, or be in any manner connected with or financially

otherwise provided by law, but said person shall deliver it to the
animal control officer.

shall immediately upon injuring, striking, maiming or running down
any animal give such aid as (s)he is reasonably able to render. In
the absence of the owner, (s)he shall immediately notify an animal
control officer or a sheriff's deputy furnishing sufficient facts
relative to such injury.

Alternatively, in the absence of the owner, a person may give aid by taking the animal to a veterinary hospital or the animal shelter of the Town. Such animal shall be deemed an uncared for animal within the meaning of § 122-34.

No owner of any animal shall cause or allow the animal to defecate
on public property or upon any street, sidewalk, public way, play
area or common grounds owned jointly by the members of a homeowners'
association, or upon private property other than that of the owner,
unless such owner or custodian immediately removes and disposes all
feces deposited by such animal by the following methods:

No owner of an animal shall permit any waste matter from the animal
to collect and remain on the property of the owner or custodian, or
on the property of others so as to cause or create an unhealthy, unsanitary,
dangerous or offensive living condition on the owner's property
or to abutting or nearby property of others.

It shall be unlawful for any person having charge, custody or control of any animal to permit the same to be at large or trespass on the private premises of another, or to be on any public highway, street, alley, court, public ground, or unfenced lot. All animals must be confined to the owner's property or shall be on a leash, no longer than 10 feet in length and under the control of a responsible person when the animal is on any public property, any highway, street, alley, park, or public ground. Whether a person is responsible shall be determined by giving due consideration to the age of the person and the size and temperament of the animal. However, this provision shall not apply to animals confined in a vehicle when in accordance with § 122-10, cage or similar enclosure or the bed of a pickup truck.

It is unlawful for any person to own, keep, harbor or possess
any animal which, by unreasonably loud, unnecessary, or frequent barking,
yelping, howling, caterwauling, screeching, yowling, crowing, or other
noise, causes unreasonable annoyance or disturbance to the neighborhood
or to any person of ordinary sensitivity in the vicinity. In determining
whether an animal's noise violates this section, factors to be
considered include, but are not limited to, the time of day the sounds
occur, the intensity and duration of the noise and whether the sound
is recurrent, intermittent or constant, the circumstances which might
cause the animal to make noise, and the proximity of the noise to
others.

It is unlawful for the owner or any person having possession,
custody or control of any animal to allow the animal to interfere
with a pedestrian or vehicle traffic, trespass on school grounds or
playground, or damage the property of another person.

No person shall obtain an animal from within the confines of
the animal control facility, from an animal control vehicle or from
the custody and control of any animal control officer without the
permission of the animal control officer. Any person who tampers with
any lock, gate, door or fence on the animal control vehicle or vehicle
used to transport animals or located at the animal control facility
or any person who climbs or attempts to climb any fence located at
the animal control facility shall be considered a trespasser.

No person shall have in his or her possession, care, custody
or control any animal that has been impounded by the animal control
officer, sheriff's deputy or other official and has not been
properly released by the animal control officer, sheriff's deputy
or authorized agent or official, following payment of all impoundment
fees and costs.

It is determined by the animal control officer or sheriff's
deputy through his/her personal observation of the condition or behavior
of the animal, that probable cause exists that the animal in question
poses an immediate threat to public safety;

The owner of an animal declared dangerous by an animal control officer
shall be notified via personal service, or first class United States
Mail, sent to the last known address of the owner. A certificate of
mailing or a signed receipt of declaration by the owner shall be deemed
sufficient proof of service of the dangerous declaration.

Upon declaring an animal dangerous, the animal control officer may seize and impound the animal if there is an immediate danger to the public. If the animal is seized and impounded, the owner may not regain possession of the animal until the owner complies with the conditions set forth in § 122-28. If animal is seized and impounded and the owner does not file a timely appeal pursuant to § 122-26 or fails to comply with the conditions set forth in § 122-28, the owner shall be deemed to have abandoned the animal pursuant to § 122-11, and the animal shall immediately become the property of the Town of Pinedale.

Within seven days of service of the notice of the dangerous declaration,
the owner may file an appeal with the Pinedale Municipal Court to
appeal the dangerous declaration of the animal control officer.

The hearing date for the appeal shall be set by the Court within
10 days from the date the owner files an appeal with the Pinedale
Municipal Court, unless otherwise continued at the discretion of the
Court.

The Municipal Court shall determine whether the dangerous declaration
is to be upheld. The Municipal Court may make any orders authorized
by this chapter, based upon the evidence presented. The hearing for
the appeal shall be conducted in the following manner:

Any owner to permit the animal to be outside the required enclosure pursuant to § 122-28B unless the animal is under direct control and supervision of the owner and the animal is securely muzzled, restrained by a leash not exceeding six feet in length, or is otherwise contained in a manner that keeps the animal from injuring or harming any person or other animal.

Except as otherwise ordered by a judicial order pursuant to
an appeal of a dangerous declaration, any animal which is declared
dangerous by an animal control officer may be kept within Town provided
that:

At no time shall the animal be allowed to leave the private property
confines of the owner or person in charge of the animal unless it
is securely muzzled, leashed (no longer than six feet in length),
under the effective control of the owner, or contained in such a manner
that it cannot bite, harm or injure anyone or other animal.

The private property shall be adequately and properly posted with
one or more conspicuous warning signs provided by an animal control
officer. Additionally, it shall be the responsibility of the animal
owner to list his/her name and current telephone number on or near
the sign.

The owner of the dangerous animal may not sell, relocate or give
away the animal, if within Town limits, without obtaining written
approval from an animal control officer. If such a transaction is
approved, the owner or transferee shall pay a nonrefundable inspection
fee for the new location of the animal.

If the animal has been declared dangerous pursuant to § 122-25, with proper notice being given to the owner pursuant to § 122-25, the animal continues to exhibit the same or similar types of actions or behavior which resulted in the declaration, or is in violation of § 122-28.

If upon investigation it is determined by the animal control
officer or sheriff's deputy that probable cause exists that the
animal in question is vicious as defined in this chapter, the animal
control officer or sheriff's deputy shall seize and impound the
animal. The owner shall not maintain possession of the animal during
the appeal process.

The owner of an animal declared vicious by an animal control officer
shall be notified by personal service or by first class United States
Mail, sent to the last known address of the owner. A certificate of
mailing or a signed receipt of declaration by the owner shall be deemed
sufficient proof of proper service of receipt of the vicious declaration.

Within seven days of service of the notice of the vicious animal
declaration, the owner may file an appeal with the Pinedale Municipal
Court to appeal the vicious animal declaration of the animal control
officer.

The hearing date for the appeal shall be set by the Court within
10 days from the date the owner files an appeal with the Pinedale
Municipal Court, unless otherwise continued at the discretion of the
Court.

The Municipal Court shall determine whether the vicious declaration
is to be upheld. The Municipal Court may make orders authorized by
this chapter, based upon evidence presented. The hearing for the appeal
shall be conducted in the following manner:

The animal may be impounded to the shelter and held for not less than three business days unless immediate action is necessary to prevent undue pain and suffering, including immediate humane euthanasia of the animal per § 122-38. Within three business days, if the ownership of the animal is proven, such owner shall be able to obtain possession of such animal upon compliance with § 122-36.

If an animal is found at large and its owner can be identified and
located, such animal need not be impounded but may, instead, be taken
to the owner. In such a case, the sheriff's deputy or animal
control officer may cite the owner or responsible person to appear
in court to answer to any violations of this chapter.

Each person who shall take custody of any stray animal apparently
running at large shall report the same to the Pinedale Animal Control
immediately after taking custody thereof, furnishing a sufficient
and accurate description of the animal to allow for the possible return
of the animal owner, unless said finder surrenders it to the Pinedale
animal control officer.

If any animal impounded is suspected to have rabies by the animal control officer, the animal shall be held for examination by a veterinarian. In the event that a veterinarian confirms such animal is suspected to be afflicted with rabies, it shall be disposed of or confined in accordance with the current rabies compendium. In the event that a veterinarian confirms such animal is not suspected to be afflicted with rabies, it shall be released as provided herein. Release of pet pursuant to § 122-36, if applicable.

Whenever an animal control officer finds that any animal is, or will be, without necessary care, the animal control officer may take up such animal for protective care, and in the event of sickness or injury of the animal, where the owner or keeper is unknown, or unreachable, the animal control officer may take any action to prevent undue pain and suffering, including immediate humane euthanasia of the animal. If ownership of the animal is proven, such owner shall be able to obtain possession of such animal upon compliance with § 122-36.

The animal control officer or other designated official is authorized
to advertise and place for adoption all dogs or other animals which
have been impounded for a period of not less than three calendar days,
if they are not sooner claimed by the owner of such animal. Any person
wishing to adopt a dog or other animal which has been impounded for
not less than three days shall pay the animal control officer or other
designated official adoption fees, and if residing within Town must
obtain a dog license if animal adopted is a dog or livestock permit
for livestock.

The animal control officer may, by public notice and proclamation,
quarantine any animal in any area of the Town where (s)he finds rabies
or other disease to exist. During such quarantine period and until
public notice of its termination has been given by the animal control
officer, each animal in the area must be securely confined by its
owner. All such designated animals found at large in that area during
such period may be impounded, quarantined, or humanely euthanized
pursuant to the order of the animal control officer, or veterinarian.

It shall be the duty of anyone with knowledge of a human being having
been bitten by any animal susceptible to rabies to promptly report
the same to an animal control officer within 48 hours of the occurrence.
This shall include all hospitals or medical facilities that treat
anyone who is the victim of an animal bite. The reporting person or
agency shall obtain the victim's full name, address, phone number,
and date of birth. They shall also attempt to obtain a complete description
of the animal, the animal owner's name, address, and phone number.

If any animal is believed to have rabies, has been bitten by
animals suspected of having rabies, or has bitten any person, such
animal shall be impounded in the Town shelter by an animal control
officer, sheriff's deputy, or other person authorized by the
Town of Pinedale.

If vaccination cannot be verified, the animal is to be kept in the
shelter, segregated from other animals, or veterinary clinic, for
a period of 14 calendar days. At the end of the fourteen-day impoundment,
the animal shall be inspected by a licensed veterinarian, and if the
animal shows no symptoms of rabies, the veterinarian may authorize
release of the animal. If the animal shows symptoms of rabies, the
veterinarian may determine whether the animal is to be humanely euthanized.
If euthanasia of the animal is required, euthanasia shall be accomplished
in such a manner as to preserve the head intact. Such head shall promptly
and without delay be properly removed and packaged for shipment for
laboratory analysis to the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory.

Following the fourteen-day impoundment, the owner of such animal so impounded may reclaim such animal on payment of all costs and charges incurred including veterinary fees, vaccinations, and any other costs or charges incurred. The animal may not leave the premises without becoming current on rabies vaccinations and if such animal is a dog, the owner must acquire a dog license pursuant to § 122-3 of this chapter.

If any animal so impounded is not claimed by the owner thereof at
the expiration of the fourteen-day impoundment, such animal becomes
property of the Town of Pinedale and such animal may be humanely euthanized.

Whenever an owner shall observe or learn that such animal shows
symptoms of rabies, or acts in a manner which would lead to a reasonable
suspicion that it may have rabies, (s)he shall immediately notify
an animal control officer to make an inspection or examination of
such animal until it shall be established to the satisfaction of a
veterinarian that such animal has or does not have rabies.

It shall be the duty of the Town of Pinedale Animal Control
to keep an accurate record of all reports of animal bites, including
the place of occurrence, time of report, person making the report,
disposition of the case, and such other information as may be required
by the animal control officer. Each such case shall be investigated
and the animal properly dealt with in accordance with the provisions
of this chapter.

It shall hereafter be unlawful for any owner to pasture, stable, house, or otherwise keep any livestock within the Town without first obtaining a permit as set forth in § 122-47. However, the provisions of this section shall not apply to any livestock which is properly secured upon property which is zoned for agricultural usage, nor shall it apply to the operations of any duly established veterinary clinic or hospital or animal boarding service which is operated in compliance with the provisions of Chapter 475, Zoning, of this Code.

Application for a livestock permit shall be made on forms issued
by the Town. A separate permit shall be required for each animal,
except that one permit shall suffice for each flock of fowl or poultry
or for each warren of rabbits. Applications shall include the following
information:

The name, address, and telephone number of the owner of each animal,
and, if different, the name, address, and telephone number of the
person or persons having care, custody, and control of the animal;

As a condition to the issuance of any livestock permit, any animal
control officer, sheriff's deputy or authorized representative
of the Town shall have authority to inspect the permit location at
any reasonable time.

Livestock permits issued may be revoked by an animal control officer
if the holder of the permit, or the person(s) responsible for the
animal(s), violates any provision of this chapter or any other federal,
state or local laws relating to animals.

Upon revocation of a livestock permit pursuant to Subsection A of this section, all other permits issued to residents of that same household shall likewise be revoked, and no new permits may be issued to any resident of that household for one year. For purposes of this section, "household" means any nuclear or extended family residing in the same residential structure; any grouping of two or more people related by blood or marriage, and residing in the same residential structure; any two or more people residing in the same residential structure in a connubial relationship, whether or not the relationship has been sanctified by religious or civil marriage; and any single person residing alone. "Household" shall not, however, apply to two or more people not related by blood or marriage and residing in the same residential structure for economic purposes only.

Any person whose livestock permit is revoked shall, within 10 days
thereafter, ensure all livestock is removed from Town. No livestock
permits shall be issued for the same livestock at a different location
in Town. If any person(s) whose livestock permit is revoked fails
to remove such livestock, such livestock may be impounded by the animal
control officer.

It shall hereafter be unlawful for any owner to allow any livestock
to be unrestrained upon any public or private property within the
Town. However, this section shall not apply to any livestock which
is properly secured upon any property which is zoned for agricultural
usage, nor shall it apply to any properly attended livestock which
is being driven through Town for purposes of being moved from one
range or pasture to another.

No person shall knowingly or intentionally provide supplemental
feed attractants to the following wild animals, unless specifically
authorized by an agency of either the State of Wyoming or the United
States of America: antelope, deer, and moose. However, this section
shall not apply to any person(s) engaged in any of the following activities:

Unless another penalty is expressly provided herein or by law, every person convicted of a violation of any provision of this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished in accordance with the general penalty provision set forth in Chapter 1, Article IV, General Penalty, of this Code.
